Explanation of the ZR-45s ash modes and functions. This section explains ZR-45 ash modes and functions in combination with CLS compatible cameras and CPU lenses. Functions and LCD displays vary when other types of cameras are used. E-TTL mode!
Information obtained by monitor pre-ashes and exposure control information is integrated by the camera to automatically adjust ash output levels.
TTL is recommended for standard shooting situations.
To take pictures using ZR-45 set in E-TTL mode, see Basic operation. Adjust the ash output level automatically for a well-balanced exposure of the main subject and background. The main subject is correctly exposed regardless of background brightness. This is useful when you want to highlight the main subject. Setting the E-TTL mode!
In E-TTL mode, immediately before the ash res, the ZR-45 res a series of imperceptible pre-ashes to analyze the information of the subject. ZR-45 ash shooting distance range The ash shooting distance range is indicated by numbers and a bar chart on the LCD. Set the shooting distance within this range. The range varies depending on ISO sensitivity, camera's image area setting, illumination pattern, angle of coverage and aperture. For more information, see Specications. Auto setting of ISO sensitivity, aperture and focal length When using with a ETTL-compatible camera and a CPU lens, ZR-45's ISO sensitivity, aperture and focal length are automatically set according to camera setting. For more information about the ISO sensitivity range, see the cameras users manual.
E-TTL mode!
When insufcient light for correct exposure is indicated When the ZR-45 res at full ash output level, ready-lights on the ZR-45 and in the cameras viewnder blink for approx. three seconds after shooting. In this case, underexposure may occur. To compensate the exposure, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and reshoot.
The underexposure value (-0.3 to -3.0 EV) is displayed on the ZR-45s LCD panel for approx. three seconds while the above ready-lights blink. Pressing Function button 2 recalls display of underexposure value in TTL mode. Changing cameras metering mode! !

When camera's metering mode is changed to spot metering while E-TTL Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash is selected, the TTL mode automatically changes to the standard E-TTL mode. In such case, the TTL mode automatically changes to the E-TTL Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash, after changing camera's metering mode to Multi-pattern or Center-weighted. Insufcient light for correct exposure!!
When the ZR-45 res at full ash output level, ready-lights on the ZR-45 and in the cameras viewnder blink for approx. three seconds after shooting. In this case, underexposure may occur. To compensate the exposure, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and reshoot. Checking the correct exposure before shooting 1 2 Manual mode!!
In Manual ash mode, you select the aperture and ash output level. In this way, you can control the exposure and ash shooting distance when shooting subjects where the correct exposure is difcult to obtain in the TTL or Non-TTL auto ash mode. The ash output level can be set from M1/1 (full output) to M1/128 to match your creative preferences. Conrm the test ring indicator appears on the LCD. Make the necessary settings on the ZR-45 and camera and press the test ring button to re the ash. Ready-lights blinking after shooting may indicate insufcient light for correct exposure. In this case, set a wider aperture on the camera or lens, or move closer to the subject.

* The aperture on the ZR-45 cannot be set directly. The shooting distance indicated matches the selected ash output level and aperture. 7 Compose the picture, conrm that the ready-light is on, then shoot. Manual mode!!
Setting the ash output level Press the Function button 1, and then rotate the selector dial to change the ash output level. When you rotate the selector dial clockwise, the indicated denominator decreases (ash output level increases). 1/128 1/128 (+ 0.3) 1/128 (+ 0.7) 1/64 1/1 1/2 1/64 (+ 0.7) 1/64 (+ 0.3) 1/1 1/128 1/4 ( 0.7) 1/4 ( 0.3) 1/4 1/2 1/2 ( 0.3) 1/2 ( 0.7) 1/1 1/2 1/64 1/128 When you rotate the selector dial counterclockwise, the indicated denominator increases (ash output level decreases) The ash output level changes in 1/3 steps except between 1/1 and 1/2. 1/32 (-0.3) and 1/64 (+0.7) represent the same ash output level. 1/1 1/128 1/4 ( 0.7) 1/4 ( 0.3) 1/4 1/2 1/2 ( 0.3) 1/2 ( 0.7)
In default setting, ash output level compensation between 1/1 and 1/2 is 1 step. This step can be changed to 1/3 using custom setting (kC-22). With some cameras, and when using faster shutter speeds with a ash output level greater than M1/2, actual ash output may decrease to M1/2 level. Bounce ash operation!
You can tilt or rotate the ZR-45s ash head to bounce the light off the ceiling or walls, providing more natural-looking pictures of people with softer shadows. Also, you can soften the shadows even more by using the Clellan Diffusion Dome For more details and comparative example photos, see the separate booklet, A collection of example photos
Setting the ash head!
Tilt or rotate the ZR-45s ash head by holding down the ash head The ZR-45s ash head tilts up 90 and rotates horizontally 180 to the left and right. Set the ash head at a click stop at the angles shown. Setting ash head tilting/rotating angles, and choosing the reecting surface. Good results are generally obtained most simply when the ash head is tilted up and you use the ceiling as a reecting surface. Rotate the ash head horizontally to get the same effect when you hold the camera in the vertical position.
14
Take care not to let light from the ash unit illuminate the subject directly. The effective distance between the ash head and the reecting surface is approx. 1 m (3.3 ft.) to 2 m (6.6 ft.) depending on the shooting conditions. In color photography, select white or highly reective surfaces to bounce the light off of. Otherwise, your pictures will come out with an unnatural color cast similar to that of the reecting surface. Bounce ash operation!
Setting the cameras exposure mode and metering system. 1 Set the exposure mode to Aperture-Priority Auto (A) or Manual (M). Setting the ZR-45s ash mode 2 Set the ash mode to E-TTL, Auto Aperture, or Non-TTL auto. Setting the cameras aperture. 3 In bounce ash, use an aperture 2 to 3 stops wider than with normal ash photography, and adjust it according to the results. In Non-TTL auto ash, set the same aperture on the ZR-45 as is set on the camera. In Manual exposure mode, set the shutter speed. Adjust the ash head and shoot. 4 Setting the aperture in bounce ash operation In bounce ash, there is a light loss of 2 to 3 stops when compared with normal ash photography (with ash head adjusted to horizontal/front). Therefore, you should use a two- or three-step wider aperture (small f-number), and adjust it according to the results. When the ash head is adjusted to other than the horizontal/front position, the ash shooting distance range indicator on the ZR-45 disappears. To ensure correct exposure, rst conrm the ash shooting distance range and aperture with the ash head in the normal position. Next, set this aperture on the camera. Using the built-in bounce card!
In bounce ash photography, use the ZR-45s built-in bounce card to create a highlight in the subjects eyes, making the eyes look more vibrant and avoiding illuminating the front of the subject. Tilt the ash head up 90 to use this feature most effectively. Setting the built-in bounce card Pull out the bounce card and the wide-ash adapter and, while holding the bounce card, slide the wide-
ash adapter back into place inside the ash head. To insert the bounce card, pull out the wide-ash card again and slide both cards together back into place. Shooting with the Clellan color lter set!
15 By attaching the provided Clellan Diffusion Dome over the ash head, you can diffuse the light even more when doing bounce ash, creating extremely soft light with virtually no shadows.
Slowly pull out the wide-ash adapter all the way, and position it over the ash head. Then slide the bounce card back into place inside the ash head. When the built-in wide-ash adapter is attached and when the camera's image area is set to FX format, the zoom position is automatically set at 12 mm, 14 mm or 17 mm, and 8 mm, 10 mm or 11 mm while setting the cameras image area to DX format. To set the zoom position manually, go to custom setting and set Zoom position setting if the built-in wide-ash adapter is broken off accidentally to [ON]
(manual setting is available). To put the built-in wide-ash adapter back into place, lift it and push it into the ash head as far as it will go. With the camera in either the horizontal or vertical position, you get the same effect. Good results are generally obtained when the ash head is tilted up 60. When the Clellan Diffusion Dome is attached and when the camera's image area is set to FX format, the zoom position is automatically set at 12 mm, 14 mm or 17 mm, and 8 mm, 10 mm or 11 mm while setting the cameras image area to DX format. Attaching the Clellan color lter set! !
Attach the Clellan color lter set as shown in the illustration with the Clellan logo facing up. Notes when using the Clellan color lter set. The distance between the camera and subject differs from the center of the frame to the periphery, so the peripheral area might not be sufciently lit in some cases. Setting the built-in wide-ash adapter 1 2 Flash photography with color lters!
Three types of color lters for changing the color of the light from the ash are available. For more details on photo examples with color balanced using color lters, visit www.clellan.com Flash output level compensation and exposure compensation!!
Making ash output level compensation!
You can make exposure compensation for the ash illuminated subject only without affecting the background exposure by modifying the ZR-45s ash output level. As a basic guide, some plus compensation may be necessary to make the main subject brighter, and some minus compensation to make it darker. Flash output level compensation is possible in E-TTL auto ash. 1 2 Press the Function button 1 to highlight the Flash output level compensation value Turn the selector dial to set desired ash output level compensation value. The compensation value can be set in 1/3 steps from +3.0 to -3.0 EV.
16 3 Canceling ash output level compensation! !
Press the [OK] button.
To cancel, turn the selector dial to return the compensation value to 0. The ash output level compensation cannot be canceled by turning the ZR-45 off. For cameras with a built-in ash featuring the exposure compensation function. You can also set the ash output level on the camera. For details, see your camera users manual. If you compensate the ash output level on both the camera and the ZR-45, the exposure is modied by the sum total of both compensation values. In this case, the ZR-45's LCD panel shows only the compensation value set on the ZR-45. Making exposure compensation!
Exposure compensation allows you to make both the subject and background brighter or darker by intentionally modifying the correct ash exposure. This is useful when a subject of extremely high or low reectivity is included in the scene or when you want to create ash photographs to match your creative preferences.
Some plus compensation may be necessary when the background includes a highly reective surface. Likewise, some minus compensation may be required when the background is dark or includes subjects of low reectivity. Using the Speedlite Stand!
Use the provided Speedlite Stand for stable placement of the slave ash units. Attach the ZR-45 to the Speedlite Stand in the same way that you attach it to the cameras accessory shoe. The same is true when detaching it from the camera. Wireless multiple ash shooting!
Conrming shooting situations in wireless multiple ash operation. You can conrm wireless multiple ash operation by checking the ready-light on the ZR-45 or the sound monitor during and after shooting. When the ZR-45 is used as a wireless slave ash unit, you can monitor its operation by listening to the sound monitor. This function can be activated or canceled using custom setting. This function is set to activate as the default. To save battery power, the ready-lights on the slave ash units can be turned off in the custom setting. The rear ready-light is set to light up and the front ready-light is set to blink as the default. Conrming ash operation using the ready-light . Flash shooting in Advanced Wireless Lighting!
When the ZR-45 is used with Canon cameras, Advanced Wireless Lighting is possible. In this mode, you can divide the slave ash units into three groups and set the ash mode and ash output level compensation values separately for each group as well as the master ash unit. This is dened as Flash 17
Shooting in the Advanced Wireless Lighting. To take photos with repeating ash, see custom setting. For more details on the example photos in Advanced Wireless Lighting, see the separate booklet, A collection of example photos Mechanism of the Advanced Wireless Lighting!
Slave ash units can be set up to a maximum of three groups (A, B, C). Single or several slave ash units can be allocated for one group. For a total of four groups including the master and other slave ash units in three groups, you can set the ash mode and ash output level compensation values separately for each group. Select one of the four available channels through which the master and slave ash units exchange data. If another photographer uses the same type of wireless slave ash setup close by, your slave ash units may accidentally re in sync with that photographers master ash unit. To avoid this, use a different channel number.
Flash shooting in Advanced Wireless Lighting!
Direct the light sensor window of the slave ash units toward the master ash. As a basic guide, the effective shooting distance between the master and slave ash units is approx. 10 m
(33 ft.) or less in the front position, and approx. 7 m (23 ft.) at both sides. These ranges vary slightly depending on the ambient light. Be sure to place all slave ash units that are set in the same group close together. Available functions to be set on the camera!!
The following functions are available when used with cameras so equipped. Set these functions on the camera. They cannot be set on the ZR-45 directly. For detailed information regarding camera functions and settings, refer to your camera users manual.
Auto High-Speed Sync mode!
High-Speed ash synchronization at a compatible cameras highest shutter speed is possible. The Auto High-Speed Sync mode is automatically set when the shutter speed exceeds the cameras sync shutter speed. This is useful when you want to use a wider aperture to achieve shallow depth of eld to blur the background without worrying about sync shutter speed. Auto High-Speed sync also operates in the Advanced Wireless Lighting mode. Available ash modes are E-
TTL, Auto Aperture ash with monitor pre-ashes, Non-TTL auto ash with monitor pre-ashes, Distance-
priority manual ash, and Manual ash when using a single ash unit. 18 For ash shooting distance range in the TTL auto ash mode and the guide numbers in the Auto FP High-
Speed Sync mode, refer to Specications.
Slow-sync ash!
The ash is controlled at a slow shutter speed to obtain the correct exposure for both the main subject and background in low-light situations. Since slow shutter speeds are normally used, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake. For more details on the example photos, see the separate booklet, A collection of example photos.
Available functions to be set on the camera!
2nd curtain sync!
In normal ash photography, when shooting fast-moving subjects at slow shutter speeds, unnatural-looking pictures can occur, because the subject frozen by the ash appears behind or within the blurred movement . Rear-curtain ash sync creates a picture in which the blur of a moving subject (for example, the taillights of a car) appears behind the subject and not in front. In front-curtain sync, the ash res immediately after the front curtain opens completely; in rear-curtain sync, the ash res just before the rear curtain starts to close. Since slow shutter speeds are usually used, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. This function does not operate in Repeating ash operation. In multiple ash, the master ash unit can be set to either front-curtain or rear-curtain sync ash. However, the remote units cannot be set to rear-curtain sync ash.

When the light is too dim for normal autofocus operation, the ZR-45s AF-Assist illuminator enables you to perform autofocus photography. The ZR-45s AF-Assist Illuminator supports the dynamic-area AF system. The AF-Assist Illuminator cannot be used with cameras not compatible with Canon DSLR Notes on using the AF-Assist Illuminator!
The AF-Assist Illuminator is available, if an AF lens is mounted and the cameras focus mode is set to S
(Single Servo AF with focus priority), AF-A, or AF. The effective shooting distance with the AF-Assist Illuminator is approx. 1 m to 10 m (3.3 to 33 ft.) from the center of the image with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. The shooting distance varies depending on the lens in use. Suitable lens focal length is between 17 mm and 135 mm. Focus areas for each focal length, in which autofocusing is available, are as follows:
The AF-Assist illuminator will not light up, if the cameras autofocus is locked or the ZR-45s ready-light does not come on. Refer to your camera users manual for more information.
